  to do a broad cross section of questions
• Start looking at prior exams in first term, doing the ones related to current topics (see links above)
• Make sure you get your calculator asap....it is essential equipment
• Try www.calculatorking.com.au for competitive pricing or Ebay
• Remember you can take a bound reference book into your two EOY exams, but do not use this as an excuse not to prepare for the exams. You will have very little time to look at reference notes in the exam. You will be provided with a list of all relevant formulae in the Exam Answer book
• So start preparing your reference book now - include theory and sample questions/answers....again, remember your exam paper will include a formulae sheet. You should use this as a revision tool to prepare for your exams.
• Exam dates are to be confirmed, but based on 2009 they should be Monday 1 Nov 10 and Wednesday 3 Nov 10
• VIP....don't forget to have some fun and do your best!!!
